Overview

Located three miles (5km) northwest of Fargo, Hector
International Airport is the primary airport for North Dakota and
northern Minnesota. A small airport, most of the flights to Hector
International Airport are short trips from nearby Minneapolis.

However, there are limited flights to Las Vegas,
Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
The airport's facilities are basic, although it does contain
facilities for both domestic and international flights.

There is only one gift shop and one restaurant in the
terminal. Indeed, Hector International Airport is loaded with small
town charm and friendly staff members may even hold a flight if
queues at the security are slow.

Hector International Airport has the macabre distinction of
being the intended destination of the flight that Buddy Holly,
Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper were on when it crashed coming
from Clearwater, Iowa, in 1959.

Location

The airport is five miles (8km) northwest of Fargo.

Getting to the city
